inner product space

by SneakyElf@[EMAIL PROTECTED] May 10, 2008 at 10:50 AM

ok, here's the problem.. prove <u,v> = 0 iff ||u|| less than or equal
to ||u + av||
where u,v in V and a is in F.
--

so, <u,v> = 0 iff <v, u> = 0
squaring both sides ||u|| ^2 = ||u|| ^2 + |a|^2 ||v||^2
                                       = <u + av, u + av>
                                       = <u, u> + a <v,v> + .....?

it is a simple problem, and any pointers to solution will be
appreciated.
